- I have a little house, and a mouse could not live in it, and all the boys in town could not could how many windows in it.
A thimble.This is the crooked child, that the crooked woman had, that rode behind the crooked man, upon the crooked horse, that ate the crooked grass, that grow crooked, under the crooked crab-tree. This is to be recited quickly a certain number of times without making any mistake in the words.As I looked out my father's window,
I lost my gay gold ring.
I saw the dead carrying the live
And wasn't it a wonderful thing?
A passenger train.Under water, over water, never touching water.

A wooden leg but it cannot stand,
Is often wet but it cannot feel,
Has no shoes and is shod with steel.(continues on next page)
